Arc De Triomphe, Free to See in Las Vegas

2011-08-21T15:44:00.000-07:00

Among the many sights to see in Las Vegas is the reproduction of Frances Arc De Triomphe. This Paris landmark is a war memorial that is also the tomb of the unknown soldier. The Arc in Vegas is approximate two thrids the size of the original.

This is the one in Las Vegas. They are indeed hard to tell apart.

The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris . It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Nappoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier from World War I.

Eiffel Tower Las Vegas

2011-08-21T14:01:00.000-07:00

Las Vegas is full of near life experiences. Reproductions of world famous landmarks and iconic art are all over the place. Caesar's Palace has a David identical to the original and carved in marble from the same quarry as the original. This post is about the Eiffel Tower of Las Vegas. While I have always wanted to visit the city of lights, time and money have not been on my side. So I turn my attention to the Eiffel Tower of Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Eiffel Tower is an copy of the one in Paris. I can't tell if it is an exact copy in every thing except height. The one in France is 1063 feet tall while the one in Vegas is only 541.

As you can see they are very close to identical. They are both impressive structures. The one in Las Vegas comes with a view of the strip. There is one restaurant and an observation deck. The restaurant requires reservations and of course serves french food. The observation deck requires an ticket and prices vary between 10 and 15 dollars. It certainly gives you more than a flavor of the original. It is definitely a near real experience

The Best Tips for Getting Into Las Vegas Shows

2011-07-28T18:30:00.000-07:00

The perfect tip for getting the best Las Vegas Show tickets is to plan in advance. There's no question but that this is still true. Shows in Las Vegas can be sold-out months in advance. However, if you are a planner, then you're way ahead of the game.

Customer Loyalty Programs may also be important. Las Vegas is not as generous as it was. There is a reason to choose preferred hotel and stay there any time you go to Las Vegas. Certainly if the show is in the hotel you happen to be staying in, then you have influence that someone off the street doesn't have. The hotel concierge is usually an asset you should think about. Its their job to solve these kinds of problems for you.

The Net is also a good place to look. There are a number of sites dedicated to everything Las Vegas. I have incorporated a link to the Best of Las Vegas on my blog. I did this for many reasons. The first is that I went through the various sites and this one was the one I liked the best. In the interest of full disclosure, in case you follow the link, visit the site and purchase something I receive a commission. Its very little but it is still a commission. You will find all manner of deals on their website. Including bargains on show tickets.

If all else fails you'll find ticket brokers in Vegas that will get you a ticket. It means more money, sometimes a lot more money. Use them as a last measure.

In June the held a job fair to fill over 700 positions. No one can remember when the hotel was updated last. So it was due.

I've heard that you can get a room for about $44 a night. Great deal for a brand new Vegas Hotel

CityCenter Death Ray Alive and Well

2011-05-22T10:29:00.000-07:00

Last year after the completion of the Citycenter it became apparent that the curve in the Vdara building caused the sun light to focus in such a way that the sun bathers at the pool were getting fried. It became a story told around the world. The fix for the Solar Convergence phenomenon according the MGM Resorts International is umbrellas. Seems like a band aid to me. Of course they have put up warning signs and I hear the gift shop is selling SPF 140.

Anyway, his show is free and he is very good. Stop by and see him. If you are driving there is free parking you enter off Flamingo.

Country Legends with Country Chuck Las Vegas

2011-03-20T11:13:00.000-07:00

I have been in Vegas for a while now and keep my radio set at 102.7 FM. This is a country station that plays mostly current country hits. However, on Sunday morning I get treated to a little country history. Country Chuck's show is on locally from 6 am to 10 am. I am kind of musically adventurous and listen to a wide range of music. Country Chuck's Country Legend Show let me experience the great country player of the past. His selections are request driven and are sometimes very unique.

Country Chuck receives phone calls and emails from all over the country. I assume that he is either being heard on the Internet or is syndicate on other stations. I'm not sure how it is done. Some of his callers have turned into a cast of characters that update their antics weekly. Country Chuck weaves his dry sometimes sardonic wit into commentaries on current events. So, if you want to get your hillbilly on, tune into FM 102.7 the Coyote on Sunday mornings for some country classics.

Fremont Street Impersonators From Elvis to Spock

2011-03-09T21:01:00.000-08:00

Fremont Street has a lot to see. There are street performers of all sorts. Some of them are famous. There's a sax player who has been on the street for many years and does very well. There are also a number of celebrity impersonators. Some impersonators are far better that others. They are all present for your photo opportunity. These people pose for the donations. This is simply a small sample. There was also Superman, Batman, a Playboy Bunny, and several others. Those photographs didn't turn out great. For my own money the most realistic was Spock. Then again I'm a Star Trek Fan. The Dark Angel in the arms of Elvis is also a unique visual image. Elvis, the Dark Angel and the Ample Lady certainly were the most requested while I was there.
